Misses Janet Riley and Elaine Kalman, the Ursuline representatives, will argue for the proposition that "Employers should pay a just wage to employees."

Kessler took time between placing Kick-me placards on the backs of unsuspecting students to deny charges that the society was established so that he could sell a story to a local newspaper. He emphasized that the primary purpose of the organization was to place a little originality in April Fool tricks. "For example," he said after kicking someone in the seat of his breeches, "instead of simply yelling at somebody that his coat is on fire when it really isn't, we Bee to it that it actually is on fire. In that way, more amusement is had by all." An innovation was placing placards studded with tacks on the back of student's pants so that if April Fool jockesters disregarded the Kick-me sign fun would still be had when the victim sat down. In order to squelch any possible squawk on the part of the victim, it was decided to have at least five brethren present when this experiment was performed.

America Great Because Of Fools, Avers Burns Congress President In Address Before Students "America is great because of its fools," Albert G. Burns, president of the National Inventors congress, stated in an address before a group of students of the college of arts and sciences in Marquette auditorium Monday morning. "The young inventors who are called 'nuts' and 'bugs' by people who do not understand them or their work, are the ones on whom we must rely if America is to keep pace with the great nations of the world," continued Mr. Burns. "The synthetic rubber manufacturing process, the system of producing fuel oil from garbage and other refuse, and artificial methods of silk production are only a few of the modern basic industries which have been perfected by men who were derided and avoided by people who considered them insane."Mr. Burns, who is here in conjunction with the New Inventions and New Products Exhibit sponsored by the congress at the Roosevelt hotel April 1-4, introduced as an example of one of his "nuts," Mr. Charles Miner, of San Francisco, said to be one of the greatest minds in the history of aviation in America. Mr. Miner has made possible a 36-hour-Californiato-New York-to-London trip, a feat hitherto considered impossible. His latest contribution along lines has been an aircraft which is to have a cruising speed of over 600 miles per hour. "When we hear of inventions like this," remarked Mr. Burns, "we find it hard to believe that just about 50 years ago, people wanted to close the patent office. They thought that everything had been invented." However, this self-styled "Chief Dr. Coady Is To Lecture Today On Adult Education To Be In Holy Name Auditorium At 11:00 A.M. An address on adult education will be delivered to the students of Loyola university by the Rev. M. M. Coady, Ph. D., famous Canadian priest and educator from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, today at 11:00 a. m. in the Holy Name of Jesus auditorium, according to an announcement by officials of Mu Epsilon Delta, local honorary scholastic fraternity, sponsors of the talk. Father Coady is the man chiefly responsible for the wonderful success of the adult education program being sponsored by St. Francis Xavier university and the cooperative project promoted through its extension service. Both of these have attracted international attention and added to the already wide reputation of Dr. Coady. Dr. Coady has spoken in this country several times before and has addressed the convention groups of the cooperative league and of the National Catholic Rural Life league. Dr. Coady's program is founded upon the basic idea that adult education is the mobilization of the spiritual and intellectual forces of the people for the purpose of attacking the problems confronting them. This intellectual awakening is brought about through the medium of the small study club, educational rallies, special courses for leaders, and general regional conferences. The interest of the common people in such a program can only be aroused and sustained through appealing and energizing study material. It has been found that literature exposing the social and financial maladjustments of our times strikes the most responsive cord in the minds and hearts of our people.. Stephen B. Rodi, president of Mu Epsilon Delta, will introduce the speaker. George Seferovich, recording secretary, is in charge of the arrangements. The Rev. James A. Greeley, S.J. dean of the university and moderator of Mu Epsilon Delta, will preside at the assembly.

V. Bech of New Orleans. They expected to make the trip across Lake Ponchartrain in not more than four and, a half hours, and friends were told to notify the Coast Guard if they hadn't come in in that time. The party had hardly left sight of land when a stiff breeze began to blow them off their course. They struggled along, shipping a lot of water, and about 7 o'clock found themselves off Shushan Airport, about six miles out. With no water and only a few water-soaked sandwiches for food, they faced the prospect of a bad night, so in an effort to attract attention from the shore flares were set off by Mr. Bech. About 9 p. m. a heavy fog settled and then the flares were of no avail. Resolving to make the best of things they divided into two shifts, two working the bow and stern lights in S-O-S signals while the other pair tried to snatch off few hours of sleep on a bed of wet life preservers.
